Rivulets Surround Me
Makoshika State Park, Montana
2026

A lone standout surrounded by rather uniformly distributed rivulets of erosion. (By definition it appears that they’re only rivulets if there is actually water in them, so maybe I should call them seasonal rivulets.)

The Luck of Circumstances
Makoshika State Park, Montana

Trees don’t have any more control over the circumstances of their birth than humans do. But if this tree actually was able to choose it’s spot, it chose well–for the view anyway. Given the erosion going on around it, the spot doesn’t provide the best odds on a long life. But then a safe but boring life is highly overrated.

Mr. Kool-Aid Goes on a Rampage
Rochester, Minnesota
2026

Don’t ask me why I immediately thought of the Kool-Aid Man when I saw this.

When hell freezes over, crossing the river Styx gets more complicated.

Heads Up
Rochester, Minnesota
2026

It’s been several weeks since I was last in Rochester but they, like much of the rest of the country, were already in the Halloween spirit even back then. (Gotta stay ahead of the Christmas decorations I guess.) I like this shot because it has such an odd collection of features about it, especially when I noticed the two heads up behind the roof railing.

Bus Stop
Rochester, Minnesota
2026

Me mum often grew mums when I was growing up. Their color always added cheer to the fall season. But even the plethora of brightly colored mums in this shot didn’t seem to register on the folks waiting at this bus stop. They look either bored stiff or nose deep in their cell phones. It must have been a long day at work for them.

First Aid Kit
Bozeman, Montana
2026

Fifty years ago, give or take, I built a roll top desk. It has survived a number of moves across country in the years since, and so apparently have some of it’s contents. It’s amazing what turns up when you search way in the back of drawers filled with stuff you haven’t gone through in decades.
